Power Trip is a fascinating journey through our incredibly complex relationship with oil, energy and everything in between.

I'm only on page 167 (out of 376, not counting the notes section at the end), so I'm not ready to write a full review, but I am ready to urge you to buy or borrow this fantastic book. It's an exploration of the world's relationship with energy — both fossil and renewable — that's packed with insight and wit and has made me rethink some of my positions on a couple of issues (which I'll layout in more detail in a full review to come).

You can buy it at your local bookstore, borrow it from the library, or purchase it online at Barnes & Noble, Amazon or whatever your favorite purveyor of bookage is. It's $15 online (plus S&H), list price is $25.99.
